I'm a will buy it again/won't buy it again kind of guy.

This also applies here in Canada. I am not sure I will be able to retire. I'm 59. Fortunately, I like my job and it does not require any physical strength and for now I work from home (I'm in IT). As said by others, inflation and the fact that we live longer and healthier lives makes it hard for a lot of people to retire at an early age (65 or less). What worries me the most (especially in my line of work) is the amount of job opportunities what will be lost to AI (this has already begun). So on one side people need to work for a longer period of time and on the other side their will be less job opportunities because of AI (and other factors like ageism no matter what the law says about it). It's not going to be easy.

I used to drink scotch but now I prefer coffee.

Probably another overpriced cigar !!

I don't mind how each one wants to call them, I just don't see the point. I don't mind about influencers (well maybe a bit lol) but I personally don't see a necessity for them. I have to admit that "influencers" is a broad term and it may mean different things to different people so YMMV.

Is there suppose to be a name change? Is it required? Influencers...do we need them?

Why this sudden need to find a new naming for NCs?

I've always used NC and CC and I will keep doing so. Don't see the point of using "New World Cigars" and/or "Free World Cigars". Nothing new about the other countries and free world is debatable in some countries outside of Cuba currently producing cigars.

That is so true i heard that on the news yesterday. Things seems to be getting worse with just about everything !

The cigar sommelier at the hotel Nacionale lounge said that a good chocolate goes very well with cigars. This is something I plan on experimenting with this summer.

Perdomo is one of my favorite brands, try the 20th anniversary if you can.

What I love right now: I was able to acquire the cigars I wanted on my last trip to Cuba a few months ago The discussions on this forum What I hate right now: CC prices NC's priced like CC's but not nearly as good (Padron and Davidoff comes to mind) Being priced out of most CC's Poor selection of cigars from my online vendor Not seeing the end of all the nonsense going on in the CC world The misery the Cuban people are living in and keeps getting worse.

And I don't see the end of it...

As long as you can afford to completely lose the money you invested, without negative impact on your financial obligations and all...I don't see a problem with that.
